The Preface

I turned all the lights off, tried to find my way around
 I stuffed my ears with cotton so I couldn't hear a sound
 I covered my mouth with tape so I wouldn't scream for help
 I had to prove to everyone I could do this by myself
 But I asked some friends to come along to see if we could work it out
 We sweat and slaved and with all we gave this is all that came out
 A high wire act with acrobats and no safety net
 Keep your eyes wide open 'cause you ain't seen nothin' yet
 So may I introduce to you the one and only Littlest Man Band
 Telling a story of a boy and his friend entitled 'Better Book Ends'
